Lost in Mustafu: A Christmas Special

Chapter 15: Making Progress

*Y/n POV*

I stepped around the corner and looked around, following the beeping of my watch tracker. The red dot was getting closer and closer, only a few buildings over by now.

I stepped forward and felt my shoes crunching through the snow as I walked towards the building tucked in the alley. It was definitely an old building, falling apart at the seams.

There was a group of people outside, slowly walking inside. I recognized them all, murderers, thieves, and villains. People so far down on the naughty list they'll never get off.

I walked around to the back, careful not to be seen as I noticed the building was a lot taller than I thought it was at first. I did notice a window that was about halfway up the building, that should allow me to see in.

However, I would have to get up there first.

I place my foot on top of a nearby trashcan, straightening my leg and pushing me upwards. I was able to grab a loose brick and lifted myself up even further, hooking the back of my knees around a nearby flagpole. Letting go with my hand, I fell backwards but was held up by my knees around the pole.

I slowly rocked back and forth, allowing momentum and force to lift me upwards. This eventually caused me to flip over and land, sitting, on the flagpole. I sat there for only a second, as I stood up and balanced on the pole.

I jumped slightly, causing the pole to bounce up and down slightly. I then, using the flagpole as a diving board, jumped into the air and grabbed onto the windowsill, pulling myself up until I was able to see inside.

Looking through the murky glass, I saw the villains sitting around a bar, speaking quietly among themselves.

*Third Person POV*

"So," Dabi said, looking over at the League's leader, "You ever gonna tell us what this of yours is for Christmas?"

"Fine," Tomura growled, "I'll tell you what I'm planning."

Y/n shifted slightly, attracting the attention of some of the villains inside. Before they could turn and see him, he dropped down to where only his finger tips were holding on, covered in snow.

"Just some birds," Kurogiri said, "Continue."

Y/n pulled himself back up and continued to listen in on the conversation, his hands beginning to burn from the effort.

"Alright," Tomura continued, "My plan has already been put into action. Only three days ago, a group of independent villains managed to shoot down an unidentified object that was spotted over Mustafu. It was easy to take this object off their hands and bring it here, and it's our plan for destroying Christmas once and for all."

"Okay..." Himiko said, "But can you get to the point? I'm getting bored! What was the stupid thing you stole!?"

"I stole Santa Claus."

The room went silent, as Y/n stumbled slightly.  He was able to right himself without many any noise, but one hand slipped, leaving him hanging by a single hand.

"What?" Kurogiri asked the question everyone was thinking, "How did you steal a fictional character?"

"He's not fictional," Tomura corrected, "In fact, he's so real, his only son is here in Mustafu in order to stop us."

"Then I suppose you have some proof for this?" Mr.Compress said, leaning against the bar, "I don't think anyone in this room has believed in Santa for a long time."

Tomura smirked, "Of course I have proof. In fact, go see for yourself."

A door on the other side of the room opened as if automatically, whatever inside was hidden from Y/n's view.

"No way!"

"Incredible..."

"It's real..."

Y/n couldn't see whatever was inside, but he had a good idea of what it was. As he was about to make his presence known by bursting in, a bird landed on his remaining hand and looked down at him.

"Hey little birdie," He whispered, "Can you move please?"

The bird looked down at him and pecked his hand, causing him to flinch.

"Oh you son of a bitch," Y/n breathed, "If you don't stop, I'll turn you into Christmas dinner."

The bird looked at him as if to say, 'try me bitch', and pecked again, this drew blood, causing Y/n to hiss.

"F*ck you..." He growled.

There was a third and final peck, and Y/n fell to the ground. Laying in the snow, he glared up at the bird.

"I'll kill you."

"Hey did anyone here that?" A voice came from inside, "Is there someone out there?"

"Oh shit..."

Y/n quickly pushed himself up and ducked behind a nearby building, as the villains came rushing out ready to attack. They didn't see him duck behind a nearby dumpster, as they looked around.

"I must've been mistaken," Dabi said, turning to Tomura, "What's the plan now then?"

"Let's go back inside," Tomura replied, "We're too open out here."

Once they had walked back into the building, Y/n revealed himself and looked towards the building.

"Don't worry Dad," He growled, "I'm coming to save you."
